Yes, but we get the same if we just add resource directory to classpath - that is simpler then copying. The documentation for the Ant copy task states that that "files are only > copied if the source file is newer than the destination file".

But the build removes 'bin' directory during clean up so all copied resource files are removed too. Thanks, Stepan.
